The City of Milton's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) department, in partnership with the Milton Historical Society, produced a GIS story map that allows people to explore Milton's rich history. Along with offering glimpses at historic images, you can use this interactive map to view historical marker details and stories about Milton's historic locations and buildings.

One of Milton's most historical locations is the Thomas Byrd Sr. House -- formerly known as the Hopewell House -- located at 15690 Hopewell Road. The structure is one of the oldest in North Fulton, dating back to at least the mid-1800s. The City of Milton purchased the 2.5-acre property from foreclosure in 2011, then a few years later renovated the nearly 4,000-square-foot home on it. That building is now home to Milton's Senior Center, run by North Fulton Senior Services in partnership with the City of Milton.
